The colour combinations on this early silk and metal thread embroidered chalice cover are sublime, a soft mauve/grape with yellows and greens.
Made in the late 17th century this is a rare survivor. Embroidered in floss silks and metal threads it features a symmetrical floral design with large motifs in the corners and a central decorative element, accented with metallic thread.
A stunning piece which would benefit greatly by being stretched and mounted, ready for framing. A service we offer from
our textile conservation studio in the Cotswolds. Please ask us for details.
